I have a osmosis whole-house drinking water system. Will the RF4289hars icemaker/drinking water system work when the filter is out as I don't need it?

The filter serves as a connector between the incoming water and the icemaker/water dispenser. The system will not work if you remove the filter. You would have to fabricate some sort of direct-connect line.

I think it doesn't. My filtration system has the reverse osmosis system embedded in the system so it doesn't need it. I've had this faucet for a long time now and it is excellent. Just in case. Hope this helps!!!!

As long as it is below the water level and water flows INTO the pump easily ( gravity fed ) it will work. DO NOT PUMP HOT WATER INTO A RO unit , however as it will destroy the RO membrane. Use only cold waterUse cold water only!!

Yes the pump connects to the water feed line. I have a through the door ice maker and water setup. The pump is connected to the one feed and it does both. Our fridge has a water filter and the pump manufacturer recommended a water tank kit they sell or replace the filter with a dummy plug. I didn't do either but the pump makes a stuttering sound filling the ice maker which I am sure will shorten the motor life. If you don't have a filter you shouldn't have this issue. The manufacturer has a PDF of the install manual online that might help with any other questions.

If it is in an icemaker model that fits in your frig and is not one that has water dispenser in door. Probably. Usually the supplier will recommend the one for the one you are ordering. . your picture looks just like the one I used and it was so simple to install. Your old one should have a model number on it.

We have a reverse osmosis filter water line, and I use that. But I think that just tap water or water out of a filter jug should be fine

To my understanding it will not. What the pump does is take the remains of the water that does not pass through the membrane that is normally sent down the drain and pumps it back into the hot water side of your house system (thus, the zero waste). The pump is needed to overcome your home's normal water pressure to push it back into the system on the hot side. The pump has no effect on the RO filtered water pressure side of things. I do use my system to also feed my refrigerator cold water and ice maker, but the pressure is, as you would suspect, unimpressive.

I do not have an ice maker, so I cannot confirm this as a fact. However, since the water pressure increased significantly from the filter outlet, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't increase the water pressure if an ice maker were connect to the tank.

No. We have used for over a year, filling a bucket of ice about twice a week, and it has worked without a hitch. But, to answer your question, it does not have a filter. You have to manually pour water into the well; so whatever water you put in, is what comes out.

For the short time I used this coffeemaker, I used it without the filter. My home water is filtered by a better system than any coffeemaker filter could provide, so I wouldn't buy any coffeemaker that insists on using their filter as a condition for the appliance working.

You need a reverse osmosis (RO) system or a distillery for salt water (seawater). This is for fresh water only, IF it did filter out salt it might only filter out a total of 1/2 cup of salt. You should try it and let us know how it works.

On the right side of the ice maker is a wire that acts as a sensor. In the UP position it tells the ice maker to stop producing ice. In the down position it signals the ice maker to make more ice. It often gets stuck in the up position. Just reach back and pull it down. The water filter does not have to be in the refrig for the ice maker to work. I assume that you are able to get water through the water dispenser; because no water, no ice.

Actually, I have a revers osmosis system in my house for drinking water and I didn't use the filter. I was told by my plumber if I filtered my RO system it will slow down my water pressure. The RO water is already great and I didn't need another filter. If I did use it though it would be easy to change. I have an extra filter.

I just got mine and hooked it up to my Samsung refrigerator. The instructions state that filters should be avoided because it will cause the FloJet pump to over-cycle.They recommend a dummy filter housing, or purchase their tank accumulator. I did not remove my filter, so we'll see.

I actually don't use the filter. I used the one it gave me, but it only lasted a month or so, then I tossed it. The waterer works fine without it.

If your home water is satisfactory, you do not need to replace the filter. When you believe the filter has used up its usefulness, pull it out and throw it away. The coffee machine will continue to work just fine.
